The Charlotte Hornets finally showcased their core starting lineup featuring LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Mark Williams, and Miles Bridges, but like all great things in this life it wasn't meant to last. Brandon Miller suffered an ankle injury late in the game, further fueling questions about the Hornets' injury luck. In this episode, we break down the highs and lows of their loss to the 76ers, including LaMelo's impressive pick-and-roll possessions and Miles Bridges' strong offensive night. With Mark Williams slowly returning to form and minutes restrictions still in place, the Hornets looked like a team struggling for chemistry and consistency. We also discuss the sobering reality of Charlotte's season: It's time to recalibrate expectations and focus on evaluating talent for the future? Tune in for observations on the Hornets' rotation challenges, thoughts on Brandon Miller's recovery timeline, and why their depth remains a critical issue.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://linktr.ee/lockedonhornetsBecome an official member of the Locked On Hornets Sicko Brigade and get Hornets news, rumors and pictures of Byron Mullens sent directly to your phone via Subtext (14 Day Free Trial): https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonhornetsLocked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAGet Doug's gamenotes, special articles and a podcast on Hornets history at the Every Hornets Boxscore substack: everyhornetsboxscore.comGet more Walker on Wes and Walker 12-3pm on WFNZ 92.7 FMTop 35 Hornets Nicknames of All-Time According to Doug Branson: https://hornets.substack.com/p/the-top-35-nicknames-in-hornets-franchiseTop 35 Hornets of All-Time According to Walker Mehl: https://hornets.substack.com/p/the-top-35-players-in-hornets-history📲 Follow Locked On Hornets on TwitterLocked On Hornets https://twitter.com/LockedOnHornetsWalker Mehl https://twitter.com/WalkerMehlDoug Branson https://twitter.com/DougBransonLOH Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!
